  WannaBe: Just curious, any relation to Benjamin Finegold?
Nov-08-06  Resignation Trap: Ron is Ben's father. See: http://www.michess.org/webzine/rona... .
Apr-05-10  wordfunph: his CG games featured all 6 games with black...or a probability of 1/720 is that right? any statistician out there?
Apr-05-10  Birthday Boy: Happy Birthday!!!!Ronald Finegold!!
Apr-05-10  HSOL: wordfunph:
If we have someone with exactly six games and there is a probability of 0.5 (50%) for being black/white in any game is the chance of it being only "black" games 1 in 64. (1/2^6)

  Phony Benoni: Just to spoil his perfect record, I have submitted a game where Ron played White.

Oh, relax; there are going to be others anyway.

  HeMateMe: Fisher v. Finegold, nice post, P.B. Bob seems to know well in advance that black will lose the tempo in the Bishop endgame.
Jul-16-14  Granny O Doul: The 1/720 figure comes up in a slightly different context dealing with six. Picking, say, the exact order of finish in a six-horse race.

Back in 1976, the Flash had to stack 720 discs in the correct order in order to prevent a bomb from destroying Central City. He had only one second to do it.

RIP, Mr. Finegold.

Jul-16-14  Granny O Doul: Who knows, perhaps Finegold might have beaten Fischer if he'd had Petrosian's wife there to help him.
Jul-16-14  Marmot PFL: Sorry to hear that Ron Finegold passed. Quite a few memories of playing him and both sons.
